A consignment out of Paraná is a race between a road and a departure board. The road from Araucária is 33 km. The board at CWB carries 16 nonstop destinations. Where the two line up, an assignment happens.
On Board Courier, Araucária
Hand carry assignments for Araucária, Paraná. The nearest working gate is CWB at 32 minutes, the seat is bought by the desk, and the fee is written down before you accept it.
OnBoard Courier is a United Arab Emirates company, contracted by ICSL FZE and run from Dubai. A city named on this site is a place we cover and route through, not a separate company in that city. Assignments are contracted under UAE law, and the terms are published in full under legal and policies.
What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.
How to start, in four steps
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
Most assignments out of CWB are confirmed hours, not days, in advance. You are given the flight, the consignee and the customs position in writing, you drive to CWB, and the ticket is already paid and issued in your name. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of GRU, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. The handover is in person, and the fee reaches your account after it.
Getting to the aircraft from Araucária
From the middle of Araucária to the departure hall at CWB is 33 km of road, 32 minutes in normal conditions. Every timing the desk gives a courier in Araucária starts from that number.
At 33 km the road out of Araucária is predictable rather than trivial, so the offer carries a leaving time and the traffic is allowed for on top of it. CWB is the only airport within a sensible drive of Araucária, so every assignment from here runs through it. That makes its 16 nonstop destinations the practical limit of what you can be offered.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CWB | Curitiba Afonso Pena | 33 km | 32 minutes | 16 |
Araucária is a city of 162,000 people in Paraná, and the clock there runs 7 hours behind the Emirates all year. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes.
What CWB reaches without a change

What moves out of Araucária
There is no public industrial file for the CWB catchment on this site, and inventing one would make the page worse. Urgent work around Araucária comes from deadlines: a filing, a component, a batch that has to be tested somewhere else.
Why a courier in Araucária is useful to the desk
What Araucária offers is a short, reliable ground leg into a board of 16 nonstop destinations. That combination is rarer than it sounds, and it is worth more to this desk than a famous address with a two hour drive.
A change of aircraft stands between Araucária and the Gulf, which changes the timings rather than the work. From Araucárithe best single change is São Paulo (GRU), and GRU to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 17h 20m gate to gate, so an assignment between Araucária and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of CWB, between Brazil and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 32 minutes drive to CWB. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach CWB, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
